The Stuttgart Ricebirds will wrap up the 2012 regular season tonight when they travel to Marianna to take on the Trojans.

The Ricebirds are coming off a 28-7 upset loss to Lonoke a week ago.

The loss dropped the Birds to 8-1 on the season and 5-1 in 2-4A conference play. But despite the upset, Stuttgart still holds the top spot in the latest 4A state rankings.

With a win over Marianna, Stuttgart would earn the top seed and get a first-round bye and home field advantage throughout the state playoffs, which begin Nov. 9.

The Trojans have struggled this season, scoring just six points all year long.

Marianna is 0-8 in 2012 and is currently ranked 48th among 4A schools.

The Trojans opened the season with a 41-0 loss to Helena-West Helena, before falling 57-0 to Forrest City.

Marianna dropped a 62-0 decision to Clinton, followed by a 64-0 loss to Dollarway. A 54-0 defeat at the hands of Heber Springs came a week before a 58-6 loss to Southside Batesville. The Trojans lost to Lonoke 79-0, and fell to Newport 56-0 a week ago.
